First lecture:
Thursday, Sept 4.
Teacher:
Andreas Strömbergsson, email: astrombe@math.uu.se
Course literature:
G. B. Folland: "Real Analysis" (selected chapters).
Chapter 8.1 in Elias M. Stein, "Harmonic analysis: real-variable methods, orthogonality, and oscillatory integrals"
(see JSTOR).
M. Einsiedler and T. Ward, "Ergodic theory with a view towards number theory" (selected sections).
Some course notes.
Examination:
Three home assignments will be given during the course.
(As part of grading the assignments, I may also discuss the problems orally, individually with the students.)
For each assignment one can get
0-100 points. To pass the course, one has to submit solutions to all three assignments, have at least 20 points on each
of them and at least 100 points altogether.
assignment #1 (due October 14, before midnight)
